Yoga practice is like playing a musical instrument.
We must practice for both skill and pleasure.
At first its scales, and then its compositions. Soon, we create our own music. We iterate and iterate. We remix. Freedom comes through experience and discipline.
At some point we burn the method. We destroy the reference. The joy in creation must be met in equal parts by destruction for the dance to be sustained. And this is how a purposeful life becomes art.
Only from formlessness can a form be created.
